I think you're just being hard on yourself. I know I tend to doubt my ability to bring a story together, but that's what revisions are for. I often find just finishing the first draft is half the battle.

I have the first draft of the first issue finished. I need to do a few more revisions before I send it to my artist though. Mostly because I had to feel my way in writing in a script format. I initially started in a DC style where you tell them how many panels and what happens in each panel, but eventually settled for a major paragraph description of the scene followed by the dialogue and a few more descriptions of action between, which is apparently closer to the Marvel script style. So I basically need to rewrite the first few pages in the later style and probably tighten up the dialogue. I've already started on the second part of the script and it's going a bit smoother since I already planned most of the story in my head.

Between that, I've been jotting down little ideas for my Matsuno inspired story. Watching a fan video on Dark Souls involving a player beating the game with just a broken sword inspired me to create a captain type character who carries around a broken sword as a memento of one of his failures.

Well tonight was actually productive. I got most of the first issue of my comic script written up. I need to tighten up the early sections since I had not quite figured out the format I wanted to use. The last part should be easy to write since it's mostly a comedy bit that segues into the next two stories.

After that, it's the task of prodding my artist to actually draw all of it since she can be flaky sometimes or only want to draw what she's in the mood for. I'm hoping the script will be good enough to have her start working on it immediately.

I've also started my Political Medieval story I told you about last year.

I've given my artist pretty good freedom on the character designs. I try not to picture how I want to see them, but funny enough, I did have an idea of what I wanted our lead to look like and she actually came to the same conclusion. So the early sketch I have of her is pretty close to my idea of her. We'll see if the others fall into place.

I've been hit with too many real life snags these first few days to get any thing down on paper, but I did have a good session with my comic artist and I now know what our heroine looks like so that was a nice breakthrough that has me motivated to work more on the project.

So there's this nagging issue I've had for quite some time now. It's a pretty abstract issue but one I think is pretty interesting and perhaps even important to share nonetheless. For many reasons, it has only become more pronounced recently.

As some of you may know, I want to be a writer. I try to do as much writing as I can. I even do writing for a living, though as an SEO copywriter, it's not exactly that I have an opportunity to spread my creative wings as part of what keeps giving

Decided this is worthy of being a blog-post, since it turned out to be a much bigger rant than I expected and I'm not sure the marathon's audience is really there for that kind of stuff

So there's this thing I've been struggling for quite some time. I don't want to call it a "writer's block" because it kind of seems like an excuse for being lazy. And it usually doesn't last long. This is something that's been eating at me for a long time.

I just kinda feel that I can't write anymore.

I mean, I still write articles for the site sometimes and I write other texts at my work, but it seems like, creatively, I've dried up. I'll come up with ideas

So this is kind of a general discussion, but the general rant I have is based on three popular 3DS RPGs: Bravely Default, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Shin Megami Tensei IV. Sorry if this is chaotic, as I'm just writing this as it comes into my mind. Also, spoilers from the three games abound.

All of those games were very well received, though for different reasons. SMT is kind of here to serve as a neutral ground, as the evaluation of its story is pretty divided, whereas the consensus
